"A great read for anyone supporting trauma-impacted students. Helen Townsend’s Survival in Schools explores how early trauma shapes classroom behaviour and offers compassionate, attachment-informed strategies for teachers, clinicians and even parents." - Katrine Anthoulas (Provisional Psychologist).

"I have recently been recommended Esther Perel's podcast titled "Where Should We Begin". Each episode is a recording of a counselling session moderated by Esther. I have found it fascinating so far and highly recommend it to other provisionals who are interested in possibly working with couples/families in the future." - Brianna Pisevski (Provisional Psychologist)

"I find this to be an empowering and stress-reducing exercise, as it helps clients focus on what they can control and accept what they cannot. It can be applied to a wide range of situations, including family, work, relationships, financial challenges, and our uncertain and rapidly changing global situation/world events, making it a versatile and practical tool." - Alice Stockdale

"I have found declarative language extremely helpful in working with neurodivergent or very young kids, to help foster exploration, investigation and responsibility. I have also found that it is a very helpful resource for parents who are struggling with their kids who are not receptive to other forms of communication." - Brianna Pisevski (Provisional Psychologist)

Recommended by psychologist, Matthew Hapsberg, the Values Worksheets from The Wellness Society is a practical tool you can use with clients (or for yourself).

Values remind us of what truly matters, especially when life feels overwhelming. Acting in line with values can boost resilience, motivation, and a sense of purpose. For young people, they can be a powerful anchor during times of stress, self-doubt, or social pressure.

Feel free to download and use this in sessions.

When life feels like it’s speeding by, we often put self-care on the back burner. But sustainable wellness comes when we nurture all parts of ourselves - not just one or two.

The Self-Care Wheel (from Olga Phoenix) is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you map out different dimensions of self-care - emotional, physical, spiritual, social, environmental, intellectual, etc. Use it to see where your balance is slipping, and where a little extra care might go a long way.
